Fish Arrival

When the seafood products arrive ashore or into trawlers at sea, the catch will be stored in holding tanks. So called ‘swan neck’ conveyors are used for transportation.

Main challenges

Dirty / wet environment

Belt slippage and mistracking

Belt damage caused by sharp shells / fins

Potential bacteria traps

Need for easy and fast cleaning

Solutions

Protection against harsh conditions and impact

No absorption of liquids, oils or chemicals

Open belts for drainage

Positive drive homogeneous belts

Care for high value products

Gutting / Sorting / Weighing / Grading / Batching
